Eden Bank distillery

Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Eden Bank distillery is very problematic to locate. The River Eden meanders east through Fife and three possible locations (a farm at Dairsie and a building and road in Cupar itself) are called Edenbank or Eden Bank. Both the farm (too far from the river) and Edenbank Road (a much later residential street) seem unlikely locations.

Cupar's Edenbank House stands in Crossgate, but the rear is close to the river. However, where exactly the distillery stood remains unclear at this time.

The area had one long-surviving distillery, Auchtermuchty, also known as Stratheden, which stood in its namesake village on a burn that fed into the Eden, and survived until the 1920s. And Seggie, one of the biggest early industrial-scale distilleries belonging to one John Haig, stood at Guardbridge where the Eden estuary enters the North Sea.
